Cranberries & Cream Macarons

Cranberries and Cream – sweet and sour macarons with healthy cranberry powder used in macaron shells and in the whipped airy cream filling. I have an ultimate crush for berries and cranberries are deliciously sour and nutritious.

Adding tartness to the sweet meringue cookies there’s a fresh/defrosted unsweetened cranberry hidden in the middle of the airy cream filling – I love to combine different flavours in macaron fillings and fresh sour berry in middle is a juicy bliss!
The shells aren’t as shiny as usual due to the cranberry powder, plus I did not pulse the ground almonds and powdered sugar mixture as my grinder decided to quit leaving me with tiny bit grainy macarons until I’ll get a new one.

Because of the whipped cream filling you should not keep them in room temperature for longer than 2 hours – but with macarons that’s rarely happening regardless of the number of the people, they just magically disappear from the serving plate in matter of minutes. 🙂
